1 Sidney Crosby
Sidney Patrick Crosby, ONS is a Canadian professional ice hockey player who serves as captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League.
Sidney Patrick Crosby, ONS is a Canadian professional ice hockey player who serves as captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League. Just because Crosby is good doesn't mean he is overrated. If it wasn't for Crosby, the Penguins would not be in Pittsburgh. He led his team to three Stanley cups and four eastern conference championships
The truth is that malkin is the real face of the penguins, Crosby is thought of as the best because he is a forst liner on a team malkin carries. I believe he is the dirtiest player. Ever see a penguins game with a call against the penguins? I haven't. Also, he is known for diving and embellishing, but when he does so, the other team gets the penalty, it's just not right and is a disgrace to hockey. I can't believe he is thought of as the best. He isn't even on the top 20 right now if you ask me. He is always getting injured, and that hurts the team when your captain is gone. It's time the fans take a stand against the overprivilaged penguins and noncalls. Thank you very much for your time and keep your head up out there.
He's not a good captain and he is also inconsistent. He doesn't step up when needed hence the playoffs. He has no killer instinct and whines about everything. I'm baffled he's considered the best in the world. He's good but he's too immature to ever make an impact in my opinion. He's andy Sandberg on ice.
Oh my god he is so overrated. They think he will beat Gretzky's record he won't. No one ever will beat Gretzky.

2 Dion Phaneuf
So sorry, I posted that when he was good, but now I think he should just retire - SayJ123
Phaneuf is the leafs' best defenceman though, although he got traded - SayJ123
He can hit, but that is about it. -
3 Connor McDavid
Connor McDavid is a Canadian ice hockey centre and captain for the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League.

7 Nicklas Backstrom
Ovechkin leads the caps. Without ovi he would be nothing. People also think of his "15 goals in 15 seconds commercial." Any nhl player can do that. He's nothing
If you are betting your franchise on Ovechkin you are doomed. You have to have a team! That includes at least 2 SOLID lines, 2 good penalty kill lines, an all around line that will do whatever the coach asks, and most of all A HEART! GKG! To quote an NHL rule: Rule 13 Composition of Team
A Team shall be composed of 20 players (18 skaters and two goalkeepers as per Rule 15 (a)(c)(d) - Players in Uniform) who shall be under contract to the Club they represent.
So many assits but no goals. And most of those assits r from the great 8.

9 Jonathon Cheechoo
Thorton hade 92 assists that's why cheechoo did good you can't not be great on a line with one of the best passers in the league
Yeah, a lot of people say Cheechoo was good thanks to Thorton. Couldn't agree more.
People STILL expect good seasons out of him. But this just shows how AWESOME Thornton is. - booklover1
One good season thanks to Joe Thornton. All over for him now though. -
10 Alexander Ovechkin
Alexander Mikhailovich "Alex" Ovechkin is a Russian professional ice hockey winger and captain of the Washington Capitals of the National Hockey League.
Alexander Mikhailovich "Alex" Ovechkin is a Russian professional ice hockey winger and captain of the Washington Capitals of the National Hockey League. He stands in one spot and shoots. He's a cherry picker and never passes off. He does have a cannon, but that's it. He is one dimensional. I'll take Sidney Crosby any day.
He's not even the top 100 greatest NHL players of all time
